This project was a collaboration with the Curious Home project at Goldsmith's London. The video consists of an outdoor video camera mounted on a large pole and a display screen which was sited in the dining room of our volunteer participants.
The window was installed for several months in the home of a volunteer family and researchers visited regularly to get feedback from the volunteers.
Yeah. But I mean generally people are puzzled. It's generally puzzlement. I mean what you're kind of doing I mean you find - well I find myself obliged to kind of counteract their scepticism or negativity. They say "oh yeah what have you got that for you can see that from out the window?" or "what’s the point?" which isn't the right question to ask really I don't think. Jack, study particpant.

Well I often sit there, I mean we sit there to eat and I sit there to read so I often sit and look up at it. One of the things I find most interesting actually is this business about the light at the end of the day. It - very, very sudden it goes dark. It'll be light on the screen when you can see outside that it's almost dark. It's quite noticeable. And then suddenly it goes from being muted colours to like an old black and white film. And then of course it's interesting in other ways because it's got erm, the lights come on and you can see the lights come on in different people's houses. Chloe, study participant.
